Article snippet: Ivana Trump, President Trump's first wife, said she is glad Melania Trump is in Washington instead of her amid a tiff over who gets to call herself the first lady. ADVERTISEMENT The new remarks come after Ivana Trump jokingly called herself the “first lady” since she was the president's first wife in an interview Monday, a remark that had first lady Melania Trump’s office bristling. "I have the direct number to White House, but I no really want to call him there because Melania is there,” Ivana told ABC's “Good Morning America” on Monday. "I don't want to cause any kind of jealousy or something like that because I'm basically first Trump wife,” she continued. Melania Trump’s spokeswoman slammed the remarks as “self-serving noise.” “She plans to use her title and role to help children, not sell books,” the spokeswoman said in a statement. “There is clearly no substance to this statement from an ex. Unfortunately only attention seeking and self-serving noise.” Ivana, who was married to Trump between 1977 and 1992, is promoting her new memoir "Raising Trump," which recalls her experience raising MORE Jr., Ivanka and Eric with the business mogul. Melania married Trump in 2005, his third marriage.
